Most Eyebrow-Raising Headline of the Week


"Yemenis compete for AK-47 in al Qaeda quiz" - Reuters

"Name three articles of the (Yemeni) constitution which contradict Islamic Law," read one on a sheet seen by Reuters ... "Any person who follows a law other than Islamic law is an infidel who must be killed. List three (scriptural) references for this," asked another. The first prize was a Chinese-made AK-47, the second a motorcycle and the third a laptop. Others included a pistol and cash prizes of 20,000 rials ($80).

Lieberman does mumble a lot, doesn't he? I can't see him as FBI Director, but then, it seems there's been a Lieberman-sized hole in Washington ever since he went away. McCain and Graham need their third Amigo back.
